After Jimmy Kimmel made a joke about the declining Malignant Fascist's age compared to his much younger icy wife's -- days before the WHCD incident -- ABC's parent Disney Company was harassed by the FCC with an early review of its licenses for eight stations, in an obvious malicious retaliation by the FCC. Disney has responded that they will challenge any FCC moves to retaliate against Kimmel:
"We have received the Federal Communications Commission’s order initiating an accelerated review of the licenses held by ABC’s owned television stations. ABC and its stations have a long record of operating in full compliance with FCC rules and serving their local communities with trusted news, emergency information, and public‑interest programming. We are confident that record demonstrates our continued qualifications as licensees under the Communications Act and the First Amendment and are prepared to show that through the appropriate legal channels. Our focus remains, as always, on serving viewers in the local communities where our stations operate." (our emphasis)
The MF and his lackeys are determined to muzzle any humor that reflects badly on the MF, in a clear violation of the First Amendment's free speech guarantee. FCC chairman Brendan Carr (a.k.a. "Trump's little ferret") is a movement MAGAt zealot, who has targeted Kimmel before, and who initiated an investigation of ABC's "The View," apparently for offending the MF in their discussions of his incompetence and maliciousness. This is what authoritarians do: shut down any voice that is less than fawning about them, and stop mockery and humor aimed at them.
Interestingly, at the welcoming ceremony yesterday for King Charles III, the clownish MF stepped on his own argument against Kimmel, in comments delivered referencing his marriage:
"During his remarks welcoming King Charles III and Queen Camilla to the White House earlier in the day, Trump noted that his parents had been married for 63 years.
'That’s a record we won’t be able to match, darling,' Trump, who turns 80 in June, said to first lady Melania Trump, 56, who was sitting just behind him. 'I’m sorry. Just not gonna work out that way.'” (our emphasis)
We're sure the MF heard about that from Melanoma Melania later in the day, as it blew a hole in her faux outrage at the suggestion that her increasingly incapacitated husband might pass away before her. Stay tuned ... especially to Jimmy Kimmel.
